Photo review Panerai PAM127

Panerai PAM 127 is my grail watch. I have it for a while but I'm too busy to take photos and write a long review. This post is just to show some photos of the PAM 127. Click on the photo for bigger image.

Kevin strap makes it more attractive.


Hand driven movement : Panerai OP XI (a modified UNITAS 6497)



PAM 127 On strapworks


Wristshot: 47mm PANERAI is just great on my 7.5 in. wrist.


Nightshot. The Superluminova is glowing in the dark.


The specification of this 'fiddy' is as the following:

PAM 127 has 26mm lug width. So, it needs 26mm panerai strap.
Why PAM 127 is so popular among paneristi? I think it's because PAM 127 is the most resemble to the 6152/1, the vintage Panerai. The 6152/1 is very difficult to find and its price is at the top of Everest. So, PAM 127 is an affordable version of 6152/1. Anyway, at the time that I'm writing this article, I see PAM 127 is pricing around USD 20,000 - 22,500 depending on its conditions.

Deep inside the Rolex DeepSea

I came across this post in Timezone. It's very informative so I'd like to put the link here : Deep Technical Design of Rolex Deepsea Sea Dweller. After reading this you will want a Rolex Deepsea. Please note that Rolex Deepsea has 21mm lug so you need 22mm Nato Strap

SMITH & WESSON TRITIUM DIAL WATCH

SMITH & WESSON TRITIUM DIAL WATCH SWW-357ST
Why wish upon a star when you can wear one?
The discovery of tritium, which is found in stars and falls to earth as stardust, is coveted by watch owners for its luminescence and doesn’t need to be charged by light like other watches. Tritium is a naturally occurring, self-luminous light source, painstakingly extracted using a difficult scientific process.

Wesson® Tritium watch utilizes this incredible substance and will glow brightly and continuously for up to 25 years, whether you are deep in the ocean or the darkness of outer space! The Smith & Wesson Tritium watch, besides using the same innovative technology as military and law enforcement watches, has a colored marker at 12:00 and keeps the date. It is water resistant up to 200M, the bezel rotates, and the crystal is hardened for scratch resistance. Precision Quartz Swiss component movement is housed in a stainless steel casing. It features a screw down crown and has a double safety clasp on the band. Until now, tritium watches have only been available for over $350. Backed by a one-year unconditional warranty, this watch is guaranteed to glow for years!
The good thing about it is that you can get it for less than $100 !!!
